I got my H1B visa approved then they put me on bench. They have given very less performance rating just because my H1B got approved. If You need promotion then you have to take release from current project.

Couldn't manage work-life balance, more than 12 hours working, feeling so stressed and I have joined in nov 28, 2020 still I am in PA position with 5LPA package. There is no time to develop my skills, only I can focus on target.

Projects are good, seniors are also supportive.
Projects opportunities are very less, so they are telling employes to resign. There bench period is very bad.

Colleagues are good and very co-operative.
There is a lack of work-life balance, a poor work culture, and ineffective leadership management. While some managers are supportive, others practice excessive micromanagement. Leave approvals are rarely granted, and the work environment is highly demanding. Being on the bench puts you in the red zone, whereas being in a project offers job security.

Good work culture work life balance, they have many clients. Skill development is also good they will provide free udmey course.
Even if we work good and get good appreciation from client you will get only 2 rating. This is the worst part and hike percentage is very low.

Seniors and team leader are very toxic. Seniors scold very badly to freshers even if you don't small mistake. They will call you anytime other than shift timings for their convenience. They are pressuring to complete your work before the shift timings. There is no work life balance

If ur manager is good and have guiding nature and judges u on the basis of work, u r soo lucky else u will have praise them(iykyk).
So much of internal politics goes on. My manager has pulled her brother into the same project and he has been been promoted to associate within very time irrespective of his work. His work quality is very poor. And during client meeting also, he was not able to convey his deliverables properly. The client was not at all satisfied and irrespective of all this he got promotion this time.

Higher management is worst, total cmpy internal politics will rule the process, no ethics and values in this cmpy and force us to resign when we ask anything and they'll go egoistic Working hours is 10 hrs, they will put lot of pressure to complete the work, they hire only limited people bcoz budget limitations and we have to extend the shifts till 12 - 14 hrs a day Promotions will be available only for chamchas (who will say always yes to Managers)...Read More

I liked my profile and job
the unwanted politics amongst seniors to bully their juniors, i was kind of harassed by newly appoiinted manager. Supercedness by seniors; ignoring the situations, dedicatedly commiting on everything to the client requirement without consulting with team members who actually knows what the scenario and work is.
